IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-FIXTURES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 160,872, dated March 16,1875; application led October 26, 1874.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY ERNEST BUSCH, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Window-Shade Fixtures, of which the following is a specication:

The object of my invention is to so arrange a Window-shade roller and its attachments that it can be raised or lowered and secured after adjustment without interfering with the functions of the shade-cord. This object I attain in the manner shown in the accompanying drawing1 in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a windowframe, showing my improvement; and Fig. 2,

a vertical section.

cord, a defect which I overcome in the man-- ner which I will now proceed to describe.

A frame consisting of two legs, A A', connected together at the top by a cross-bar, A, is so adapted to the inside of the Windowframe that it can be adj usted vertically therein to a limited extent. At or near the top of this frame are two brackets, to which the shade-roller is hung in the usual manner. The ordinary shade-cord a passes round a pulley application of said frame to the outer face oli' the Window-frame, thereby rendering it unnecessary to alter the window-frame, or to provide special guides in order to apply the fixture. Y

I do not claim a roller combined with a frame sliding in the Window-frame; noran adjustable strip carrying the roller-bearin g and cord-retainer; but

I claim- The combination ot' a shade-roller, and a rigid frame consisting of strips A A A', carryingboth the roller and a cord-retainer, b, and having slots d e, for the passage of screws by which the frame is secured to the face of the window-frame, all as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
